The results are in! Your favorite movie series started a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away

It comes as no surprise really. The first three installments of the “Star Wars” series (“Star Wars” [AKA “A New Hope”]/”The Empire Strikes Back“/”Return of the Jedi“) were the early and lasting favorites, with 28 votes and 17% of the 162 total votes cast. The complete six-film series (Depending on which George Lucas story you listen to.) landed at number five with 14 votes. Together the whole package got 42 votes, if you want to look at it that way.

“The Godfather Trilogy” fought a good fight but went to the mattresses and ended up in second place with 24 votes. Damn that “Godfather Part III” for killing its chances! Right behind was the one-time front runner, the “Lord of the Rings” trilogy, with 23 votes. And at number four, the series that inspired the poll, “Harry Potter,” with 17 fans.
